In this work we present a new multi-modal database for analysis of participant behaviors in dyadic interactions. This database contains multiple channels with closeand far-field audio, a high definition camera array and motion capture data. Presence of the motion capture allows precise analysis of the body language low-level descriptors and its comparison with similar descriptors derived from v...

People often need to know what others think of them; for example, to gauge whom to approach to collaborate or invite out, or from whom to seek assistance. Research on metaperceptions shows strong evidence for generalized meta-accuracy (i.e., people knowing whether the rest of the world tends to see them, for example, as extraverted or intelligent) but less for dyadic meta-accuracy (i.e., people...

Abstract. The relative contribution of prior experience and of size asymmetries to the determination of dyadic dominance between unfamiliar individuals was examined using pairs of green swordtail fish, Xiphophorus helleri. Three experiments were conducted to assess the extent to which superiority in size could override potential handicaps resulting from prior experience. These results indicated...

We introduce a model of dyadic social interactions and establish its correspondence with relational models theory (RMT), a theory of human social relationships. RMT posits four elementary models of relationships governing human interactions, singly or in combination: Communal Sharing, Authority Ranking, Equality Matching, and Market Pricing. To these are added the limiting cases of asocial and ...

Empathy for pain (vicariously felt pain), an ability to feel, recognize, understand and share the painful emotions of others, has been gradually accepted to be a common identity in both humans and rodents, however, the underlying neural and molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Recently, we have developed a rat model of empathy for pain in which pain can be transferred from a cagemate demon...

Recent advancements in communication technology have enabled billions of people to connect over great distances using mobile phones, yet little is known about how the frequent presence of these devices in social settings influences face-to-face interactions. In two experiments, we evaluated the extent to which the mere presence of mobile communication devices shape relationship quality in dyadi...

Clinicians learn step by step how to apply the therapy techniques and to select the appropriate therapy materials (described in detail in practical appendices). The book also provides practical advice about dealing with group processes and individual dyadic situations. Differential indications, assessment, therapy planning and evaluation are presented. Therapists will also learn how to use IPT ...

We introduce a statistical method to investigate the impact of dyadic relations on complex networks generated from repeated interactions. It is based on generalised hypergeometric ensembles, a class of statistical network ensembles developed recently. We represent different types of known relations between system elements by weighted graphs, separated in the different layers of a multiplex netw...

Self-evaluations after interracial and dyadic interactions were examined. African American and White females interacted with either a sameor different-race partner in one of 3 role conditions: the high-status role o f an interviewer. the low-status role of an applicant. or a peer of equal status. Follouing the interaction. responses to the Collective SeltEsteem scale (Luhtanen & Crocker. 1992) ...
